Sony’s New Pan/Tilt/Zoom Remote Camera - Captures Every Scene
Sony continues to add choice and
flexibility to its industry-leading
pan/tilt/zoom camera lineup with the
introduction of the Sony EVI-D70 and
EVI-D70P colour video cameras.
The EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P combine a high-quality colour video camera with the flexibility of
remote pan/tilt/zoom operation, all in a compact easy-to-use package. Incorporating an 18x
optical zoom lens, these cameras allow a user to zoom in on a small or distant object with
exceptional clarity. Compared to their predecessor, the EVI-D30/D31, EVID70 and EVI-D70P
cameras offer a wider pan/tilt range, and a faster pan/tilt mechanism. Above all, these
cameras are ceiling mountable - a first for Sony’s popular EVI cameras.
The EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P are also equipped with a variety of convenient features such as an
Auto ICR function, Alarm function.
Alarm function and RS-232C/422 serial control, making them ideal for any remote-shooting
applications such as distance learning, places of worship, courtrooms, event venues, concert
halls, and more.

HAD CCD
The adoption of Sony EXview HAD CCD
technology improves basic camera
performance. For example, these cameras
offer superb sensitivity of 1 lx (typical), and a
low smear level and D-range. (see Fig. 1)
is increased. With a set level of brightness,
the filter is automatically enabled (ICR OFF).
The ICR automatically engages depending on
the ambient light, allowing the cameras to be
effective both in day and night environments.

The EVI-D70/D70P cameras provide an alarm
function that can detect changes within a
userdesignated area of an image.*When a
change in AF, AE or both is detected, these
cameras output an alarm trigger signal to the
external equipment via the VISCA protocol. In
combination with the Spot AE function, these
cameras also detect changes in the luminance
level, and they output an alarm signal. The
detecting area can be applied to any of 16
vertical and 16 horizontal blocks. (see Fig. 3)
*Using any of the pan/tilt/zoom functions will disable the alarm.
